1.Nas- Stormed the scene and had such a big influence for people like eminem etc. Great lyrics and storytelling.
2.Villian/MF Doom- So unappreciated but they are just so gifted and put together some of the best tracks I have heard to date.
3.Tupac-Pioneer really gripped people in his songs and had a ton of charisma
4.Biggie-Delivery,punches,lyrics. He was a giant
5.Rakim- he is the man plain and simple like people say he is your MC's favorite MC.
6.Black Thought
7. AZ- Very underated but his content is amazing.
8.Eminem- Minus MF DOOM, Slims the best wordsmith on this list in my opinion. whether you like him or not, his flow/schemes and punches are just some of the best. his downfall why he landed lower was because his sometime lack of direction in his rhymes.
9. Jay Z- Nuff said.
10. Big L- His over vulgar content and a legendary freestyling skills put him on my list.
Notable Mentions-
Beastie Boys
LL Cool J
Kool G Rap
Mos Def
Common
Wu tang- Im a huge fan like im sure a lot of people in forums. If anyone would've landed in the top ten it was going to be GZA or Inspectah Deck
Del the funky homosapian. or Deltron 3030. Personally one of my favorite MCs
Immortal technique
